Had a few friends over on Saturday night and made a taco feast. Cochinita pibil, baked rice, beans, guacamole, papas con chorizo, guacamole, pickled onions, pico de gallo... yum! When the time came to get fresh tortillas however, I was appalled to find out that our tortilla provider - La Tortilleria - had none whatsoever! The tortilla machine broke down... leaving the entire city of Toronto without fresh corn tortillas on a Saturday. Hard to believe... there must be another machine in town! So we had to buy a few packages of yesterday's tortillas - and do our best with that. It was okay I guess... after spending the day cooking and preparing the fillings, it was not the perfect outcome I had in mind. Oh well. We still had loads of fun - and everyone had a great evening.
This coming week will be a bit slower for me on the teaching front, I have a 2 week break in one of the schools. I am planning on getting up to date with my paperwork, and hopefully tackle a draft contract for my teachers. I am providing all the equipment and material, and with 4 teachers in daycares (including myself), it represents a fair amount in shakers, bells, scarves, rhythm sticks and other things. I also have to protect my client base of course. It will be interesting to see how it develops with my new teacher in the East end - he has some clients of his own already, and I'm hoping to convince him that it would be advantageous to work only for me and get all the material and training he needs. We'll see.
I have a cold. A bad one unfortunately. I'm trying to avoid a sinus infection by doing daily steam inhalations with oregano oil, I have installed our humidifier in the bedroom, I'm taking Cold FX to boost my immune system, I drink ginger tea, and I'm getting to bed early. I have had a plugged ear for 3 days now... I don't like it one bit... my voice gets weak easily and if I speak or sing too much I get in some serious coughing binges. If I lose my voice, I lose work and money pretty fast. So I'm hoping to keep it in check, and get healthy soon.
Sunday night... and here goes another week!
